Out of the Water

Out of the Water - 5D3, 400 f/2.8 IS II, 400mm, f/4, 1/2000s, ISO 400

Penguins are graceful swimmers with great speed and agility under water. On land, they aren't the fastest walkers but they do manage to waddle around. However, that transition from swimming to standing is where they are the funniest. They flap around throwing dirt and water in all directions as they go from laying on their belly to standing up. I watched King Penguins do this over and over again and it just doesn't get old.
